That whole “getting back on track” thing we were harping about before? Yeah, well, it worked this time. Sorta. We did get two episodes in a row, they just came out a day late each time.

Well, what are you gonna do, right? At least there’s now a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you to enjoy. That’s what counts.

As you would expect, this week Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones. Some of these include the new season of Game of Thrones, casting news from the world of movies and TV, new trailers, a bit about the new Captain America movie, 3D movies, the beauty of language, safety on set and the dangers of helicopters.

Just listen. You’ll enjoy it.

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the new Fire TV from Amazon (see his written review here) and Joe’s pick of actress Scarlett Johansson. Why? Not why you think. Well, a little why you think.

As we told you before, Amazon has come out with its own version of the Apple TV or Roku. It’s called the Fire TV and it’s an Android-powered black box that allows you to stream content from various sources including Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and Netflix.

But is it any good? Well, our own Chris Ullrich decided to take it for a spin and made his initial report over at his personal site. As with other times he’s done this in the past, we’re still not sure why he doesn’t just write his review, or whatever, here.

Whatever, he’s the boss. Anyway, check out his thoughts and if you end up getting a Fire TV for yourself, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
